Joele Frank is handling Blackbaud, the Charleston-based $1.1B marketer of software designed to empower social impact, as it fends off an unsolicited takeover bid from Clearlake Capital Group.
The $71 per share offer is a 25.9 percent premium over the 30-day average trading price of Blackbaud’s stock for the period ended March 24.
